This is another one of those places we can't believe we get to live near. Woods + #Dunes + Oxbow Lake + #LakeMichigan all in one breathtaking view. Looking forward to doing this beautiful hike again as the leaves start to change! 💛🍂🍁

Also down by the tracks and along the Mississippi, where there’s already an endless supply of graffiti, there’s the Mural Mile, where almost two miles of floodwall have become an urban canvas for art, legal and illegal but all done with spraypaint. A narrow road for cars runs along it, cutting across tracks here and there, so we drove it to the end and back.
Started officially in 1997, there has been an annual event called Paint Louis, where artists from all over the state, country, and world join to add art to the walls over the course of Labor Day weekend. In 1998, the event saw appearances by Fat Joe and Big Pun, and the Guinness Book of World Records came to christen it the longest mural in the world at 1.9 miles long. It has successfully happened every year since 2012.
In 2001, a buncha graffiti writers went a little too crazy and bombed the fuck out of much more than the floodwall, causing the city to shut the event down for eleven years, until two original founders started it back up with the support of the city.

Find Some Adventure in your day to day for free. If you pay attention you can always find something free! My husband asked “where are we going, what’s there, what’s it for?” I replied “don’t know but it’s free!” We had a blast, hot dogs and s’mores. All it cost was an open mind and 25 minute drive. #freefun#familylife

I had to show Alyssa the Citygarden, a nearly three-acre, two-block pedestrian space, sculpture garden, and park in the middle of the gross and intimidating city center of St. Louis. It’s such a relieving and unique break from the uninspiring surroundings, where just looking at the roads and skyscrapers are enough to fill you with dread and anxiety—the reason we usually try to avoid entering those areas anywhere we go.
With plenty of shade for depressed businessmen and homeless people alike to sit under, lots of trees, plants, and flowers in full bloom and flourishing in their own rain gardens, some fountains and even a splash pad for kids to play in, and 24 diverse sculpture pieces by world-renowned artists, it’s its own portal. It’s not surprising that it’s thanks to a non-profit and none of it but water and electricity is covered by the city itself.
We walked around in the blazing hot sun and took in the art and plants. A very cute child was playing with their mom in the “splash plaza”, where 102 fountains shoot out small geysers of water at random intervals. Some of our favorite pieces are pictured here: 1. “Unzip the Earth” by Floyd Elzinga, 2. “Eros Bendato” by Igor Mitoraj (you can go inside the head!), 3. “Moonrise.East.May” by Ugo Rondinone, 4. “Untitled (Two Rabbits)” by Tom Claassen, 5. a livestream screen of the surroundings, 6. “Big Suit” by Erwin Wurm, 7. “Bird” by Laura Ford, 8. “La Riviere” by Aristide Maillol.

Good morning Music City! It’s a beautiful day and we’re so excited for #Americanarama XII! The store opens at 10:00 and live music begins at 1:00. There is a lot of off-site parking available if you find our lot full, but today’s a great day to walk, bike, scoot, & ride share to the record store.✌️☀️❤️🤠#americanafest#freefun#allages#nashville

It is a fine day on the Sunshine Coast and it feels as though the bushfires occurred months ago (until you drive past blackened bush 😪.) The weather is certainly heating up and I LOVE watching kids surf! I tried surfing once, it didn't go very well! haha
.
🌱 What cool sports/activities do your kids do? I am thinking of enrolling my kids into some unusual and fun things over the school holidays.
.
Check out this fierce girl surfing on the Coast! @gcwsr 🏊‍♀️👉🏄
